Most of us know what Singapore’s property hotspots are. Orchard, Bugis, Meyer, etc. But at today’s prices and home loan interest rates, not everyone can afford to stay in these prime locations. Well, there's a simple solution: buy one train stop away! Prices will be lower, but you’re close enough that life is still convenient. As the first instalment, we’re...
We recently looked at the top-performing shoebox units, among those who bought new. But what about those who bought resale units? These 500 sq ft or smaller units can be even cheaper as resale; and coupled with their already low quantum, some landlords swear by these as rental assets. The question is, whether they can also make you money in...
For many Singaporeans, owning a landed home is the pinnacle of property aspirations.

Imagine intending to buy a stock, but it's jumped from $50 to $100 since you started tracking it. Suddenly, $50 becomes your anchor point, making $100 seem costly. But is $100 truly expensive? It's hard to tell. If the company's revenue and earnings have significantly increased (or there's a much bigger potential upside now), $100 now might actually present a...

Unique highlights includes its location within one-kilometre to the future ACS Primary School, its efficient layouts and having just 360 units - resulting in a lesser-than-average density living.
